DANNY ROHL is clear favourite to be appointed Southampton's next manager.
That's according to talkSPORT BET, who've installed the German coach at odds-on 1/2 to replace Ivan Juric at St Mary's.
Southampton are now in the market for their third boss of an extremely disappointing 2024-25 campaign.
Juric, 49, was appointed as Russell Martin's successor on an 18-month deal in December.
But having won just two of his 16 matches in charge and with Southampton's relegation now confirmed – the Croatian has departed after just 107 days.
Sunday's 3-1 defeat at Tottenham consigned rock-bottom Southampton to the earliest relegation in Premier League history with eight games still to play.
His spell in charge is the ninth-shortest reign as a manager in Premier League history, while the club still require two further points to avoid beating Derby County's record-low tally of 11, achieved in 2007-08.
But who will lead Southampton's charge for the remainder of the season and immediate promotion?
Rohl is the frontrunner at 1/2 with talkSPORT BET.
The 35-year-old is considered to be one of the brightest managerial talents in English football following an incredible stint at Sheffield Wednesday.
Rohl helped the Owls avoid almost certain relegation having taken charge with the club on just three points. This season, Wednesday are eight points off the playoffs and 11 clear of relegation.
Rohl shares close ties with Johannes Spors – Southampton's new technical director leading the search for a replacement – having worked together at RB Leipzig.
Liam Rosenior is next in the betting markets at 6/1. The 40-year-old was unfortunate to lose his position with Hull before heading to Strasbourg, who are remarkably in fourth position in the Ligue 1 table.
Simon Rusk, who is expected to step in as interim manager with Adam Lallana acting as his assistant, is also priced at 6/1.
